    Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    netglow replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Yup no shortage and there won't ever be. There are enough nurses out there still looking and that are temporarily out of the workforce for lack of opportunity - but still licensed and ready to pounce...

    Bummed Out Over a Patient

    Very, very important that you just chat away as you did before... he might not be able to respond in a way that you absolutely know he's "with it" but he might totally be there! Soooooooooooooo...

    Bummed Out Over a Patient

    netglow replied to AICU RN's topic in General Nursing

    And this AICU RN is proof that you have "the right stuff". Nurses like those you speak of, can, be considered somewhat selfish because they make things about them, not the patient. You showed your...

    If you had to do it over again would you?

    netglow replied to Tally4970's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I think that those nurses who were able to achieve a lot when the economy and nursing was good will respond a resounding yes. Heck there was a time when continuing edu was all but paid for...

    Sure there is bullying in nursing - scores of research has been done on the witches. I have done research myself on those witches (I really have). They are usually the simplest of minds, full of...

    That sounds like a plan. Try to concentrate on the drinking on your "off hours" so that you can hydrate in a logical way. Not too much close to your clinical (so you won't be crossing your legs and...

    You know what OP, you do know all of this. When you get a day off, take a body system from your patho/phys books and go over it again. You do know it. Take another and go over that one on the next...

    Yes it's dry CathyRN06. No dumbing down. Very "medical" in nature, but that does not hinder flow, if you know what I mean. No silly nursing stuff at all IMHO (if you know what I mean). Check out your...

    Best way to push 0.5 mL med into a central line?

    netglow replied to Neverbefore's topic in Patient Medications

    See now, I wish somebody would stay firm on this. Why does this always change nurse to nurse? Seems the whole issue is if it's a danger to ever attach anything but a 10cc syringe to a
